Beavs Suit Compromised.

New YORK, January 9.-The suit OF the
Oregon and Transcontinental Company
against Messrs. Kuhn, Loeb & Co. has been
compromised for 100000 and this sum
has been paid to the plaintiff. The suit
arose from a loan OF 100000 which de-
iendents made to the Oregon and Trans
continental Company on June 18, 1884.
Stocks were deposited with the firm as Sc
curity for the loan. The stocks declined
rapidly in value after they were deposited
and on June 26 Kuhn and Loeb got fright
ened and after first calling for additional
collateral, sold enough OF the collateral to
pay themselves the sum OF the loan and
returned the rema nder to the borrowers.
The company sued the firm for the conver.
sion OF the collateral and demanded the
difference between the price OF the securi-
ties when sold and the price at the time the
loan came due. Judge Ingraham decided
in favor OF the company and the general
term supported his ruling.

which enabled him to live comfortably.
The pension was paid regularly for ten
years. At that period he was living with a
Milanese beauty, by whom he bad sew
eral children, whom he legally recog-
nized, but he would never consent to marry

Ri0tOus Strikers.

RICHMOND, Va, January ia riotous
demonstration on the part OF the striking
employees of the Old Dominion Steamship
Company at Newport News has occurred
to-day. telegram from L. Bremonte,
general traffic manager of the Chesapeake
4 Ohio Railroad at Newport News, to the
vice president says: "The strikers have
taken possession OF pier No. and set fire
to the bath house OF the Old Dominion
Land Company and perpetrated other out
RACES" Bremonte asks for an armed force
to protect the company's property and the
arrest OF the offenders. Judge Peck, Of
Warrsck County, has made formal call
upon Governor N. K. Lee for
military aid and he has taken
prompt action in the matter by ordering

Belgium and the United States he, as con-
sui, had sole authority in the premises.
The demand for the release OF the prisoners
was refused, whereupon the consul took
out q writ Of habeas corpus and upon the
dismissal OF that writ by the United States
Circuit Court he brought the case to this
court BY appeal.
Justice Waite, speaking for the court in
this case, says: The principle which gov
erns the whole matter is this: Disorders
which disturb only the peace of the ship or
those on board. are to be dealt with exclu
sively by thesovereignty of the home OF the
ship, but those which disturbed those OF
the people at the shore may be suppressed
and if needs be, the offenders punished by
the proper authorities OF the local juris-
diction. 1t may not be easy at all times to
determine to which OF the two jurisdictions
the particular act OF disorder belongs.
Much will undoubtedly depend on the at
tending circumstances OF the particularc case,
but all must concede that homicide is a
subject for local Jurisdiction, and if the
proper authorities are proceeding with the
case in a regular manner, the consul has no
right to interfere 10 prevent. The decree Of
the Circuit Court dismissing the writ OF
habeas corpus is affirmed.

those men to the authorities, who refused
to make them public until their arrest had

aides. IN a remote part OF the great park
the carriage broke down, throwing the in

though it was feared she was. 1t was
deemed pruden' for her to remain at the
scene OF the acc dent until assistance could
be procured, and for this a lackey was dis
patched. Much time was lost in all this.
In the meantime the huntsmen had gone on
a great distance before they missed their
royal mistress, and when they discovered
she was no longer with them they became
greatly frightened. started a general alarm.
and began noisy search. The prolonged

Organization of the House-A Sharp Trick
PLAYED.
HELENA, January 1.-THE Fifteenth
Legislature is making haste slowly. Only
a portion OF the routine formative busi-
ness was disposed OF to-day. In the House
the nominees OF the Democratic caucus
held at o'clock yesterday afternoon,
were elected by strict party vote, IA to
10. They were as follows: Frank K. Arm
strong, speaker; David Marks, chief clerk;
Harry Rogers, engrossing clerk; Samuel
Alexander, sergeant at arms; Arthur Pei
letter, messenger; Ben D. Stone, watchman;
Rev. R. F. Beasly, chaplain. Judge Blake
was the republican candidate for speaker.
The rules OF the fourteenth session were
adopted without change for the govern
ment ofthe respective bodies. Each branch
appointed n delegation to act as a joint
committee to wait upon the Governor and
advise him that they were organized and
ready for business and to receive any COM
munjcation which his e1cellency might
choose to make. Before a report OF this
committee was received, the Upper House
adjourned until tomorrow, which had the
effect OF delaying the Governors message
for another day.
The message has been carefully prepared
by Gov Hauser, and is said to tersey con-
tain great deal OF informa ton and a few
timely suggestions. 1t is hinted that the
early adjournment OF the Upper House to-
day was obtained mainly through the in
fuence of the evening Republican dailies OF
the Territory that they might be the first
to present to the public q synopsis OF the
message, which in it's entirety will occupy
about two columns OF the MINER. None
OF the standing committees have as yet
been announced but it is expected that to-
morrow's session will complete the organiz-
alton OF both branches and that thereaf-
ter they will settle down to business.
